Novak Weather's Dec. 17 video briefing touches on the mild and dry next few days which will be followed by the coldest air of the season and perhaps a storm capable of dumping some snow just in time for Christmas. 

Here's how the National Weather Service is monitoring the situation: 

"Things get a little more interesting precipitation wise by Tuesday and Wednesday as another potential system moves into the region. Confidence is still low this far out in time given the model spread in track, but those hoping for some snow before the Christmas holiday may still have a shot," the NWS says.
